Abstract
The paper presents a comparative analysis of two emerging economies -India and Canada in case of Skill development in Higher education.

Universities and Institutes of higher learning across the globe are in constant pressure to ensure that their graduates are ‘employable’ but it is found that most of the university courses are rarely able to provide a ‘decent employment’ just because of the fact that the curriculums in the university system does not have the component of skill development. This backdrop raises a very fundamental question; what is the extent of importance given to skill development especially in Higher education and how it can be improved further?
